A medieval church of grey stone, with nave, chancel and apse, stood on this site from around 1200. Following a parish decision in 1822, it was demolished and its stone reused in the new building, which was constructed in 1823–1824 in a neoclassical style under county master builder Peter Österlöf, to designs by the architect Johan Abraham Wilelius. The church was consecrated in 1826 by Bishop Esaias Tegnér.
The church has whitewashed walls and a copper roof, with a rectangular nave, a semicircular sacristy behind the chancel wall to the east, and a west tower topped by an enclosed lantern and cross. Inside, the barrel-vaulted wooden ceiling gives the interior the character of a typical Swedish hall church.
A wooden cross now marks the spot, below the present church near the Bolmån, where the chancel of the old medieval church once stood. Several fittings from that earlier building survive: a font decorated with animal carvings, dating from around 1200, and a late-medieval triumphal crucifix. An altar structure from 1643 depicts the institution of the Eucharist.
The altarpiece, painted in 1834 by the captain and artist Salomon Andersson of Växjö, is a copy of an earlier altarpiece in Växjö Cathedral painted in 1733 by Georg Engelhard Schröder. The surrounding altar framing, added in 1824, features pilasters crowned by a triangular pediment with a sunburst motif. The pulpit is in Empire style, its rounded body decorated with gilded symbols.
Among the smaller items of interest is a bell dating from 1582, said to have been a gift to the church from King Johan III. The church's organ has a history of rebuilding: an original instrument of 1826 was altered in 1886, replaced entirely in 1931, and in 1990 a new organ was built as a reconstruction of the earliest instrument.
